Does cover crop grazing damage soils and reduce crop yields?

Does cover crop grazing damage soils and reduce crop yields?

Cover crop (CC) grazing can be a potential strategy to support livestock and crop production while enhancing soil ecosystem services, but research on this potential multi‐functionality of CCs is limited. We assessed 3‐yr cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) CC grazing impacts on soil compaction, structure...

Zusammenfassung:Cover crop (CC) grazing can be a potential strategy to support livestock and crop production while enhancing soil ecosystem services, but research on this potential multi‐functionality of CCs is limited. We assessed 3‐yr cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) CC grazing impacts on soil compaction, structure, water infiltration, fertility, and crop yields on an on‐farm irrigated strip‐till continuous corn (Zea mays L.) silage experiment on a sandy loam with
